Malika's POV
Two weeks and things got worse between merza and I.That night I went to the mosque to pray.I came to the house and bumped into Jamila, Aisha and taufic.
Aunt Jamila slapped me.
Jamila: didn't I tell you not to go out!
Malika:I went to pray
Jamila:did I ask you!?
Malika:but..
Jamila: shutup! and what is a sinner like you doing at the mosque? Huh? You want to taint the purity of the mosque, isn't it?
Malika:aunt..
Jamila:you shutup when am talking to you!(she raised her hand at me again,but merza stopped her)
Merza: that's enough aunt.
Taufic: and why are you defending her?
Merza: she is my wife(he held my hand and was about to take me away when taufic spoke)
Taufic: your wife?(I froze) she is actually my wife.
Merza: this isn't the time for this
Taufic:it is.(he spat bitterly) I married her first , remember?
Merza:so what?am also married to her too.
Taufic:but yours doesn't count,a woman is tied to one man,any additional marraige is invalid.(I felt merza tense up)
Jamila: don't bother yourself with her taufic,you already have another wife,Aisha.
Taufic: it's not enough (I saw Aisha's eyes widen.)
Jamila: what do you mean?
Taufic: she is my wife,I paid her dowry,so she is still my wife.
Merza:so you want her back?
Taufic: exactly.(we all stood stunned)
Merza: she can't be yours.
Taufic:so you dare pick your heart over mine?
Merza:you are doing the same brother.
Taufic:she hurt me,she broke my heart,the least you can do is let her go, for my sake.
Aisha:so you still want her? But she hurt you taufic.
Merza: exactly, and that's why you want revenge.You want to keep her married to you, so you can toture her and make her pay for standing you up.She is already suffering as it is.Its enough.
Taufic: it's never enough! she deserves worse,you will hand her over to me, because she is my wife!
Merza:no.What she did was wrong brother,but you can't do this.
Taufic:yes I can,I have every right to claim back my wife.You are my brother but you are choosing to become selfish.You love her and that's why you don't want to let her go
Merza:yes I love her but that's not why am preventing you from doing this
Taufic:then what is?
Merza:revenge isn't the answer.She hurt you,so she will pay but not this way.
Jamila:then what way?
Merza: divorce.She doesn't deserve to be with any of us(my eyes filled up with tears)
Malika:merza please..
Merza:it needs to be done.
Jamila:yes, divorce her taufic,you too merza, for clearance.
Taufic:no I want her.
Merza: don't be that way Brother,her not having either of us is a worser punishment.
Taufic:no,her not being with you is a worser punishment, and her being with me makes it worst, because it's clear she doesn't care about me.You will divorce her brother and I will have her.
Merza:no.I won't let you hurt her like that.
Taufic: she is my wife.
Merza:mine too.
Taufic:then we settle this in court.
